Hi,

This is very well known fake also known as the 'puffy eye' fake.
It comes with different hardware setups and maker's marks, sometimes unmarked.
Berg & Nolte never made any KM award.
Cheers,

Hubert

I agree with Hubert.

It's a postwar reproduction.

misterjerry OR sailorjerry on katawiki......

i ve write to katawiki because if u want to sale fakes u have to write it s a fake.........

he put only 3 pics, not the last where u can verify that it s a fake....

DO YOU KNOW, ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BADGE, I SIMPLY ASKED A QUESTION, YOU DONT KNOW IF I OWN IT, IF I WANTED TO BUY, OR WHERE IT IS,  I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU ASSUMING I AM SELLING FAKE BADGES, AND MY RESPECT FOR YOU AND YOU FOOLISH COMMENT IS AS MUCH AS I HAVE FOR A CIGARETTE BUTT! SO PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME OR ACCUSE, UNTIULL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

[baffo83]

the katawiki auctions finished on may 31, start on may 26, when you put something on katawiki they take around 1  week to approve it....pics on this forum and pics on katawiki are the same, misterjerry and sailorjerry, both from canada............

wow what a coincidence, someone in canada have the same half nickname, take the picture you put here and use it on katawiki....

And there we leave it...

as far as this forum is concerned, misterjerry asked a question which was answered.....the badge in question is a well known fake.

Well I hope sailorjerry does not profit from it.

Lets put our head in the sand.

On that happy note there is no point in being here anymore, same as the rest.

This was why I left as we as a community would rather protect someone of potential ill repute given the facts and at the same time we lost a potentially useful member? Where is/was the logic in that? Neither have been here since!
